Our certified kayak instructors provide an in-depth focus on:

• sea kayak paddling techniques




• safety on the water while in a kayak 




• kayak rescue drills for yourself and others




• learn to paddle as a team




• how to pack your kayak efficiently for overnight trips and day trips 




• introduction to the kayak roll  

Includes paddling equipment rental - kayak, paddle, life vest, sprayskirt, wetsuit, waterproof jacket and booties. We recommend you wear a woollen base layer (under-tøy), wool socks, bring shoes you don’t mind getting wet, and a towel.

You will receive your NPF Våttkort – Level 1 and 2 – a nationally recognised kayaking qualification allowing you to rent kayaks individually, or with friends. Mad Goats has several kayak rental (kajakk utleie) locations along the Oslo waterfront: Bjørvika, Tjuvholmen, and Lysaker / Sollerudstranda. 

After completing this våttkort kayak course, you can rent a kayak alone or bring your friends and family out kayaking with you - only one person in the group needs their våttkort. Oslo Fjord has many beautiful islands to explore, stop for a swim, picnic, or even to camp on - the freedom of adventure awaits you! 

We also offer this våttkort kayak course as a weekend adventure including camping overnight on an island in Oslo Fjord, telling tales around a fire and making new friends! Learn how to pack a kayak, camp-craft, and cooking. This course is run from our base in Lysaker / Sollerudstranda and we camp on an island in Sandvika, just outside Oslo.
